Description _ tboudreau 2004-01-01 23:58:52 UTC 
I apply a diff using Tools -> Apply Diff Patch.  

A dialog pops up saying the patch was not
applicable.  Then another one 10 seconds later. 
Then another one about 30 seconds later.

So, I think that it wasn't applied.

A minute later, a dialog pops up saying the patch
*was* partially applied.   Would I like to view
changes?

I click "yes" and the attached exception is thrown.

(Aside from exceptions, why on earth is the diff
functionality this...weird?  This is not usable,
at all.  At least do all the changes, *then* show
a dialog with better information than "something
went wrong").

There is already issue #27424 to provide a better information when
apply patch fails.

I'll check the behavior of the dialog...

Scheduling for promotion D.
Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2005-02-01 13:31:00 UTC 
The exception is not attached....
I was not able to reproduce any errors like this, issue #27424 is
there for a better behavior of "Apply Patch".
